What happened: Kansas City removed Cooper McDonald from the injury report entirely after designating the linebacker to return from injured reserve on Tuesday. L'Jarius Sneed missed the team flight for personal reasons while continuing to manage a knee injury that limited him in practice earlier this month.

Why it matters: The roster moves come as the club navigates multiple absences for the Seattle trip after ruling out Jaylon Moore, Rashee Rice and Brashard Smith on Friday. Kansas City also signed wide receiver Andrew Armstrong to the active roster and added running back Nate Carter to the practice squad to reinforce depth.

By the numbers: Kansas City enters Week 7 at 5-0 on a five-game winning streak as the No. 1 seed following a 22-6 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers on Oct. 18.

What to watch: Final inactive lists will be released 90 minutes before kickoff in Seattle to confirm Sneed's availability.
